TY GRADUATION

To mark the end of our transition year, students and parents gathered in the concert hall to celebrate all of our achievements of the year. The night started with a touching speech from Mr Rogers. Although we drive him insane he loves us all, maybe.

Ms Minnock started with the achievements and students stood to be acknowledged and others won prizes. Isabelle, Sadhbh and Roisin won the academic excellence awards. Other non academic achievements were also acknowledged. Lots of teams won their leagues. Girls were acknowledged for their talents in drama and music. I think it’s safe to say everyone stood up at some point in the night.

Ms Bourden and Ms Clear were recognised for all the hard work they’ve put in throughout their careers by two students on behalf of the year.

A couple of girls got to talk about some of our experiences in TY, for example, the musical, Capuchin Day Centre, The Royal Hospital and Killary.

It was lovely to reflect on all of our memories. Molly and Ali also wrote a lovely poem dedicated to our year head, which I’m sure he appreciated greatly.

The certificates of graduation were handed out. Everyone graduated, thank god. We were all very concerned. We gave presents to our beloved Year Head and TY Coordinator.

The night ended with a slide show containing photos and videos from the year. It was probably the best part of the night besides completing ECDL. Watching Clodagh collapse the bed sent the room into a fit of laughter. We all then retired into the atrium for tea and coffee.

On behalf of TY 2017/18 I’d just like to say thank you to everyone for making the year so enjoyable. We all appreciate all the time and effort it took to pack the year with activities.
